SHAW MENTIONED FORLEADER lie Labor Party "Will Act With the Liberals on One Condition. A TRADE UMOX TO BE REORGANIZED CPTRIGHTD 1891 M VEW TOKK ASSOCIATED PKESS.2 10XD0S, Oct. 0. The attitude of the leading Parnellites puts beyond a doubt their determination to maintain the con flirt with the followers of Justin Mc Carthy. The vacant seats of Cork and Kil kenny, made so by the deaths of Mr. Par nell and Sir John Pope Hennessy, are ex pected to be contested again by rival Xa tionalist"! The talk of the Irish group in the National Liberal Club indicates the existence of a proposal to avoid a contest by giving the Cork seat to a Parnellite and that of Kilkenny to an adherent of McCarthy. The temper of the Parnellites is against any compromise, lor they believe that the reaction in Ireland toward Parnellism is so ttrong that they may succeed even where their dead chief failed. The m ant of money .resources alone is likely to dampen their combative ardor. In relation to the Paris fund, there are queer rnmors that it will be found to be so depleted that there is almost nothing left. Mr. Parnell's personal finances, as is known, were seriously reduced during the past two years. IKYING TO KAISE A IA)AK. A few weeks before his death he came to London seeking an extension of time on several bills. He explained that it was to enable him to pay up some outstanding calls on his shares of FYeeinan't Journal in order to maintain his right to vote at the hoard. His long delay in paying the costs of the divorce proceedings was similarly due to a want of ready money. He ought to have a large income from his estates, his stone quarries and the 40,000 testimonial he received some years ago. He was not extravagant personally, but he beggared himself in his secret" expenditures in the cause of home rule. The mention of the name of John Red mond as sectional leader arises from Mr. Parnell's recent confiding to him the con duct of the campaign in Gre3t Britain. The growing :?ense of his physical weakness caused Mr. Parnell, when too late, to begin to arrange for a temporary period of rest. He intimated to his colleagues that he must remain a while in the background; that John Redmond would act as his lieutenant, he himself continuing to direct the move ment. It was hoped that Mr. Parnell by re pose would be invigorated to an extent sufficient to enable him to meet the strain of the general election. It is improbable that the section recognize this as sufficient to give Mr. Eedmond the right to the leadership. A FORMER IXADER MENTIONED. Their dilemma led the name of "William Shaw to be again heard Mr. Shaw is the Parliamentary leader whom Mr. Parnell supplanted.arjd ib now living at Hampstead and is hale and hearty. He was sometime? consulted by Mr. Pafnell himself. If the Parnellites resort to his advice he will sim ply urge the instant cessation of sectional strife and the reunion of the party on a bais of the policy of the majority. The Independen Labor party, influenced bv Sidney "Webb and other Socialist chiefs, lias become inclined to accept the offer of the Liberal Federation Executive and sub mit to tbe guidance of Mr. Schnadhorst. If the executive gives pledges that the pay ment of members be a feature of the first Liberal budget the labor leaders will with draw their candidates. The greatest trades union, the Amalga mated Engineers, having executive depart ments in Great Britain, America and Aus tralia, is about to reorganize. Tom Mann, at a recent meeting of the English execu tive, advocated an increased latitude to the United Stateand Canadian councils. The conditions of ork in America forbade the men to be bound by rules applying to those f Great Britain. TOO MANX AMERICAN BRANCHES.

The Evening Prcs. says St is not probable that the McCarthyite members of Parliament will attend the funeral of Parnell, as many of them, and especially Mr. Healy, have received threats that violence Mill be done to them if they dare to dese crate the occasion by their presence. The City Hall will be draped in black and s. handsome catatalque, surrounded by strong railings, will be erected in Iront of the O'Connell monument for the reception of the remains. The project of taking a last of the features has been abandoned, though a specialist in such matters had been engaged to do the uork, owing to the change which has already tpken place in the features of the dead man. Messrs. Kcnnj, Harrington, Richard Power and Dalton paid a visit to Glasneviu to-day and selected the site for Mr. Par nell's grave. The grave will be dug in the center of a mound, and when a monument is erected it will be conspicuous from all parts of the cemetery. This mound is at present filled with graves of the poor of the neighborhood who were buried there many years ago, but has not been used for burial purposes for some 40 years.

A Strange Case Closely Resembling- That of Lawyer Bartine's, RECENTLY KILLED BY A CATS BITE rsrrciAi. teivegium to tite dispatch. Kew York, Oct. 9. Jimmie Steebe, an 8-ycar-old boy, is in the hospital at Eliza beth dying of so-called hydrophobia. His mother is Irish, his father is a German. Jimmie is the eldest of five children. The boy is dying of a bite of a dog. The spasms that wrench and wring the nerves and mus-. cles have just begun. To-morrow and the next day, perhaps, he will suffer more and more keenlv, and then death will give him relief. The mother and father think it is hydrophobia. The doctors say it is hydro phobia. But for all that there are some things about this case which suggest that it is the same form of hysteria which killed Lawyer Richard Bartine, who had been bit ten bv a cat. This little Jimmie Steebe was in the habit of running errands for the family of a milkman named John Edgewood. Edge wood keeps two watch dogs. One of these dogs was a large cur of a slate color, short haired and irascible. He was kept chained in the daytime and was so tame that the neighborhood children who knew him made a pet of him. Jimmie Steebe was one of the dog's favorites. SCALPED BV THE DOG. . The afternoon of July 23. Johnny Edge wood heard the screams of a child in the barnyard and ran from the barn to see what the matter was. The slate-colored dog had broken his chain: had set upon Jimmie, and having knocked him down, was tearingt his scalp viciously. J onnny x.age wooa ran upon the dog and kicked it loose from the child. The child got upon its feet and ran about the yard with his scalp nearly torn loose and one ear mangled. A doctor was called, and in the basement of Edgewood's house a score or more of stitches were put in the child's scalp. Then an amDuiance iook mm to me uusniuii. xlc lay there fortwo months, or until Septem ber 27, and was then sent away cured. His wounds had healed and only a few scars, hidden by his hair, remained. His mother meanwhile had brought suit for damages, against the Edgewoods. On July 23 the dog had none of the symptoms of mad ness. He played with another child after injuring Steebe. He was killed neverthe less. HYDROPHOBIA SHOWS ITSELF. On September 27 Jimmie Steebe went home to his father and mother. They say that they never dreamed of such a thing as hvdrophobia. The boy heard about hydro- Ehobia. J.he doctors say tnai an o-year-oia oy is too young to be impressed by such talk, however. At any rate, last Tuesday evening Mrs. Steebe offered Jemmie a glass of water. She says he had been complain ing of a soreness in his ear for several days, and that she had thought nothing of this, although her husband had at once suspected that it was the first symptoms of hydropho bia. She says her husband kept this sus picion to himself. "When she offered hire a diss of water on Tuesday he pushed it away from her, while his throat contracted violently. On Wednesday she noticed other symptoms, and on "Wednesday evening she sent for a doctor from the hospital HE REJECTED WATER. The doctor, Dr. Montfort, the house sur geon of the hospital, tried to get the boy to take a drink. "When ttfe boy rejected it with contracting throat the doctor at once saw what was the matter. The bov re turned to the hospital On Thurs day he refused food and drink. He lay quiet nearly all the time, hut any sudden movement or attempt to chance the bed linen or any such thing would throw him into a highly nervous state. Yes terday he cround his teeth a good deal dur ing these occasional nervous spells and in the afternoon he was delirous. The doctors expeet death within a few days. The evidence seems to point to great expectation of hydrophobia in all the sur rounding minds. This expectation wonld naturally seize upon the pain as confirma tion, and perhaps the child heard this out cry, and being at once attacked by hysteria,, refused water. THE SPEECKELS BBANCH OCT. A Steamship lino started by Them for the Continental Trade. Philadelphia, Oct. 9. Special. The Spreckels Steamship Company has been organized and will begin competing on No vember next for the North Atlantic Conti nental trade. C. A. Rudolph and Louis Spreckels, sons of the California Sugar King, J. C. TJhler and Chas. "Watson, em ployes of the refinery, and "W. C. Hemp stead, a customs broker, will incorporate it. The firm has no intention of building ves sels, but will continue to charter a fleet. Four steamers, all of the tramp type, but none American, are now chartered to load from Hamburg. Thev bring German beet sugar to the refinery, which will be enlarged, and in nearly every case can carry general cargoes without overloading. It is this particular trade that the Spreckels wish to develop. At present only two steamers a month come here. BOOTING OUT ANABCHISTS. Tho Wagner Palaco Car Company Dis charges a NumDcr of Suspects. Buffalo, Oct. 9. Special.' During the past week about 40 men have been dis charged from the employ of the "Wagner Palace Car Company at East Buffalo because they were members of an organization of Anarchists. The officials at the East Buffalo shops have long been aware of the existence of a peculiar organization among some of the men, and an investigation de veloped the fact that a number of supposed Anarchists were in the employ of the com pany. A short time ago a number of men who were employed on piece work had arranged to strike on'a certain day, but on arriving at the works found a force of men ready to take their places. Six men were discharged to-night. They mixed lye with paint used in finishing cars. Trouble is likely to fol low. A DUEL AT A CHUBCH. One or tho Participants Killed by a Meth odist Class I-eadcr. Savannah, Oct. 9. A. S. Dorming, one of the leading farmers of Irwin county, died at his home yesterday, the result of an im promptu duel fought on Sunday. For some time ill-feeling had existed between Dorm ing and "W. B. Fussell, which grew out of the recent murder by masked men of the deputy sheriff of Irwin county. Dorming had charged that Fussell was one of the as sassins. On Sunday Fussell was in attendapce at the neighborhood Methodist Church, of which he was a class leader. In the midst of the services Dorming drove up in his buggy. Fussell went out to meet him. The two men talked for about five minutes, when, simultaneously, shooting began, breaking up the congregation. Fussell was shot in the arm and side. Dorming re ceived a bullet under the right eye, this bullet going almost entirely through his head, resulting in his death. Fussell's wound is also believed to be fatal Abused an Adopted Child.

Interestlnc Statistics Fresented at the take Mahonk Conference. Lake Mohock, N". Y., Oct. 9. At to day's session of the Indian conference, Miss Emily S. Cook, who for 18 years has been connected with the Indian Department in "Washington, gave a rapid review of the changes that have taken place since.she be gan her work there. The whole number of Indian children at school at that time, ex clusive of the New York Indians and the Five Nations, was 3,700. Now there are 18,000 in school Then the appropriations for school purposes were trifling, now they run up into the millions. Yet at least 10, 000 children are unprovided for. u It was announced that the Presbvtenan Home Mission Society is ready to dispense with all Government support in the con duct of its school as soon as the Government will extend to the Indians an effective sys tem of common schools, and so soon as such changes can be made in its mission work as will be required by the new condition. THE 0BIGIN OF A WOBD. One of the Earliest Bakes or Savoy Gave Us tho Term Turncoat. Emmanuel, one of the earliest Dukes of Savoy, is known to fame as the Turncoat. He obtained this nickname tor a curious reason. His territories were inconveniently near to the forces of both Spain and France, with which powers he found it necessary to be on friendly terms, as they were often in the habit of Invading his dukedom. How ever, he had to side sometimes with the one, sometimes the other, according to which was stronger at the moment. So he had a coat made that was blue on one side and white on the other. When he took part with Spain he wore the blue side the Spanish color out; when he wanted to stand well with the French he turned the white side out. There was something to be said for the poor man in such a fix, but history, that has no mercy, only knows him as the Turncoat. A favor ite instance in England of a man who always took care to be on the right side was the famous Vicar of Bray. TO SAVE HEE HUSBAND From Jail, a "Woman Sues His Doctor for Slaking Him a Morphine Fiend. Aberdeen-, S. D.,' Oct. 9. Mrs. C. M. Sweitzer has commenced action against Dr. Duncan, of this city, for $5,000 damages. She alleges that the doctor repeatedly "pumped morphine into her husband so that he became a morphine? fiend," and she was deprived of his support and kindly companionship. Also that her husband is physically, intellectually and morally a wreck on account of said treatment. Sweitzer is now in jail, in default of bail, having been arrested yesterday for stealing city and county warrants from Dr. Duncan. He js said to have made a written confession in the presence of the Sheriff and notary. . Ventilators on Steamships. The comfort and healthfulness of steam ships. is now materially increased by the use of electric ventilators. These devices are being rapidly brought into use in the French naval and merchant service. On one ship, Le Magenta, the French Govern ment is about to install seven of them. They will be fixed under the ironclad bridge, and the whole will be covered with an outlet communicating with the system of distribution. The fans are mounted directly on the shaft of the electric motor, and as the disposition of the ventilating plant was re quired to be such that it could be easily maintained or taken apart, each piece is made as licht as possible in weight. As these ventilators will be required to run continuously for long periods, every ar rangement will be made to prevent the various parts of the motor from overheating. Train Kohbers' Heavy Haul. Dueant, Miss., Oct 9. Our little city is ell excitement to-day over the robbery of an express train near here about 1 o'clock this morning by three masked men.

The End to Which Christianity, Es pecially Methodism, Tends. CO-OPERATION IK MORAL EFFORT, Each Individual and Sect Own Liberty. Eetain Their TALKS AT THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL "Washington, Oct. 9. The topic of the morning session, "Christian Unity," wa3 taken up, and the essay was delivered by Bev. Dr. T. G. Selby, of the "Wesleyan Methodist Church, Greenock, Scotland. Dr. Selby closed his essay with a strong plea for reunited Methodism. Eev. Dr. A. S. Hunt, of the Methodist Episcopal Church of New York, followed. He said a great future opened before Methodism and it behoved Methodists to pray to God that it might be better than the past. There was a difference between union and unity. There could be no union which did not recognize the fact that it was the out growth of unity. There might be various phases of unity, but the union lay in God. Eev. Thomas Mitchell, of the Primitive Methodist Church, of Hull, England, said that Christ did not desire absolute uniform ity of the church, but unity. Uniformity had ben the dream of enthusiasts; unity that of the best and brightest men. It was the unity of an army, the family or a body that was effective. This unity in the church could not be brought about by external force. It must come from the life of ohurch. Much might be done by a larger charity among ourselves. cross pueposes in china. Eev. C. F. Eeid, of Florence, Ky., repre senting the Methodist Episcopal Church South, told of the birth of the Methodist Union of China. He said that there were sir different branches of the Methodist Church operating in the Chinese missions crossing each other and working without connection. These branches should come together. Eev. Dr. "William Nicholas, of Dublin, representing the Irish Methodist Church, maintained that there was real unity in the Church of Christ, but there was need for its manifestation. A good deal of liberality and freedom of thought must be allowed. Hear, hear. "Wesley gave such liberty to thought, and unless the church did so now she was in danger of going backward. Ap plause. Eev. W. P. Lark, of the Bible Christian Church, Isle of "Wight, said true Christian unity had been ignored. The church had been trying to unite on creeds and polity, but had not succeeded and never would succeed. Wherever there was union in the Lord there was real unity. Many Metho dists in the old country felt that the time was ripe there for union, but the initiative must be taken by the British "Wesleyan Church. Should she do it? "Would she take advantage of the greatest opportunity -ever offered? Hear, hear. THE EXAMPLE OF CANADA. Eev. J. Swann "Withington, of the United Methodist Free Church, Bristol, England, did not see why the example set by the Methodists of Canada should not be fol- lnTepfl Tfc Wfla a ninttpr nt rnnrratnlftt-inn that in a bqdy so large as this the utterances were all in the same line. -Let it be seen, felt and spoken that the members were one in Christ, and then unity would be at tained. Eev. Dr. E. E. Hoss, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, from Nashville, said the size of the Methodist Church in this country made the question of union one of tremendous importance. He had room in his heart for all Methodists, but sot in his house. The worst movement in the direc tion of unity came when a church said: "Division is wrong; come and join us." Each church, perhaps his own, had erred, and the only way to attain unity would be for them to stop their nonsense and to ac knowledge each other's rights. If unity was to be secured, there must first come an end of maneuvering for position in the united church. Thomas Lawrence, Primitive Methodist' of Leicester, England, pointed the way to unity as he saw It by first establishing united missions; and by one branch, when in the minority in certain districts, surren-. .dering its churches to the stronger branch. TJNITY IS NOT TJNIFOBMITY. Eev. A. Coke Smith, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, of Nashville, read the first paper of the afternoon session. His subject was "Christian Co-operation." Dr. Smith said that the Church of God is essen tially one in'all ages and places. This may be consistent with much variety in the non-essentials of creed and practice in the indi vidual and in the denomination. Unity is not uniformity, and the highest unity re quires the greatest variety of endowment and work and a mobility in form that can adapt itself to its changing environment and speak in word and deed to each age and na tion in its own tongue. But while" this is true, it must be ac knowledged that much that is inconsistent with the spirit of unity and catholicity has appeared in the history of the Church and much still remains. The misunderstand ings, divisions and strifes in the Church have given great occasion to the enemies of the Cross to blaspheme. The Eeformation was the protest of individual right against the usurpation and tyranny of an ecclesiasti cal hierarchy. Enough of the old leaven came with the first Protestants to cause the Church again to tend toward massing and to ignore individual rights. But the right to protest once taught would be exercised, and division went on. eights op the individual. The truth underlying all these divisions is this right of the individual to interpret for himself the Word of God. It is a truth which God has taken long to impress, but which is worth the time and pains of teach ing it. The call for closer unity and co-operation among our churches comes up from all di rections. In the past the worth of the in dividual has been taught. We seem now to be at the dawn of the day of organiza tion and combination. In order to effect co-operation the spirit of intolerance, which has been the cause of divisions in the past, must be cast aside and the equal rights and privileges of all God's people recognized. This recognition must be real and not formal "We have long been accustomed to the latter. It has found expression in gush ing resolutions and splendid orations, which have been negatived by our behavior toward each other. We should either do more or talk less. Nor does this recognition of the ecclesias tical quality of other denominations mean the abatement of love or zeal for our own. For him, his own family should be dear est and best beloved; but why try to force this judgment upon others? In this matter the people are ahead of the preachers. If the clergy would come closer together they would find the people with them. WORK CUT OUT FOR EACH SECT. Certain organizations and plans of labor are peculiarly fitted for accomplishing cer tain kinds of work. Episcopacy or Presbyterianisni, Congregational o'r connectional government, "a settled or itinerant pastorate or any other denominational peculiarity may "be de manded for the most efficient work, and it wouW be wicked to adopt another. Con sultation and adoption of plans for co-operative work will follow the recognition of equality among Christians and mutual res pect for each other's gifts and labors. In nominally Christian lands closer union is needed to gain the respect and aid of those who now sneer at the Church for the exhibitions of rivalries and jealousies. Multitudes in sight of our churches are as ignorant of God as if born in the heart of Africa, and much more hostile to the cos- - V"'. 10, 1891 pel The Church is the only power that can reach them. To Teach them there must be co-operation. The Church is not a political organization, hut there are stupendous evils for the gos pel to destroy. The desecration of the Christian Sabbath, the loose divorce laws, the unholy passion for gain which tramples on the right and virtue and gambles with the bread of the poor, and, above all, that blackest in th&Kcatalogue of evils cruel and remorselessas hell the legalized TRAFFIC in intoxicating liquors, all these and their accompanying evils must be destroyed. And forihis work the world must look to the church. Co-operation is also needed in philanthropic and education al work. Eev. W. Eedferd, of the United Metho dist Free Church, Bristol, England, treated of Christian co-operation in the old coun try. He said that in England the time was ripe for the final movement. Already there had been a number of religious denomina tions there looking for that end. There had been a lot of talk about unity, like the bleating of lambs. But now practical minds were looking to Christian co-operation. What could the religious people of England and America do if they utilize the force within them and speak with undaunted courage? Before the twentieth century was born, they could close every drink and sweater's shop,stop wars and make it impos sible for the immoral to sit in high political places. Applause. Eev. T. J. Ogbnrn, of the Methodist Protestant Church, Henderson, N. C, spoke of the necessity of perfecting the Church it self as a preliminary to co-operation. Well directed, intelligent co-operation would prevent the overcrowding of one church and the emptiness of others. co-operation a human instinct. Eev. James Lahuray of Methodist New Connection Church, of'Southport, England, held that co-operation was an instinct of human life. Too much has the Church been hindered in her work by the animosities of her children. Churches were wasting money in making proselytes from other churches. Union among Methodists was possible and probable. Applause. It might not be so with all Christians, but they were working up, and in the end would stand side by side. Eev. Hugh Price Hughes, of London, said that it was quite as possible for a Methodist to co-operate in Christian work with Baptists and others, and they were about to do it in England in fighting the seven evils intemperance, lust, gambling, ignorance, crime, pauperism and war. Much had been heard about the non-Conformist conscience in England, and much more would be heard. He realized that the Methodists should unite and that the in itiative should be taken by his church, the Wesleyan. He had asked an American bishop when there would be a union be tween the Methodist Church in the United States North and South. The Bishop had replied: "As soon as we have a few prom inent funerals." Laughter. And that was as true of' one church as of another. Applause. YE8TEBDA Y'S UrTFOETTmATENES. Several Are Burned and Others Injured on the Bailroad.

A Very Favorable Eeport of the Condition of the Iron Market. BEADSTEEET'S AND R.G. DUX'S EEYIEWS SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Nkw York, Oct. 9. Special telegrams to Bradstrcd't from leading trade centers con tinue to emphasize the previously announ ced delay in the movement of the autumn's business. At Boston trade generally is quiet, though woolens are in better demand and rubber is higher. Leather is in less active request. New York wholesale dealers do not report a recent gain in any line, and late increases in the volume have been barely sustained. At Philadelphia trade is not generally active, and as elsewhere at leading centers the favorable outlook, commercially and in dustrially, has not been realized as yet. Anthracite is costing wholesalers a little more per ton. Leather at that point is firmer and tobacco in good demand and higher. Unseasonable weather has checked the general distribution of goods at Cincinnati, Omaha and elsewhere in the Central West and Northwest. Iioads are heavy and inter ior trading is interfered with. IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST. The active movement of merchandise at Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul and St. Louis is continued, but without reported gains as compared with last week. There is some gain at Kansas City, New Orleans and San Francisco. At the latter wheat prices continue above a parity with Liverpool quo tations, and exports are checked. Business failures in the United States number 230, against 208 last week and 183 this week last year. The total from Janu ary 1 to date is 9,250, against 7,808 last year. The price of wheat is 1 cent higher than a week ago. Exports this week have in creased, amounting from United States ports alone to 3,958,810 bushels, including flour, as compared with 3,405,982 bushels in the previous week, and with 4,711,661 bush els in the week before. In the first week of October, 1890. the like total was 1,516,759 bushels from United States and Canadian ports, and in 1888, from United States ports alone, the totals shipped abroad were each a little more than 1,800,000. bushels, and in 1887, 1,708,628 bushels. Including Mon treal's exports this week the total of wheat and flour exported aggregates 4,515,815 bushels, againt 3,759,091 bushels last week. For 15 weeks of this,the current cereal year, exports from both coasts of the United States amounted to 62,580,000 bushels, as compared with 27,2937000 bushels in the 15 weeks of 1890, 28,363,000 bushels in 1889, 33,575,000 bushels in 1888, and 52,032,000 bushels in a like portion of 1887. THE STOCK MARKET DULLER. Speculation in the share market has been less active, and professional manipu lation of prices has been facilitated by the apparent curtailment of public interest. But, though the market was affected by rumors that various railroad corporations contemplate issues of bonds or stock to provide for necessary equipment and bet terments, and the disturbance in the Eu ropean loan markets temporarily checked foreign buying of our stocks, prices yielded but slightly and display a tendency to re cover. The amount of golden route from Europo is $5,400,000, and foreign exchange, though at times affected by fears of a rise of inter est rates at London, has remained 'at the gold importing point. The New York money market, while firm, shows an in creasing disposition on the part of lenders to. put out funds at the present full rates, -Bonds are dull and slow. Bank clearings at 58 cities for the week. amount to $1,225,837,951, an increase overn the week last year of LI per cent. AtoT cities, New York's total excluded, a very slight increase is shown. There were in creases at New York, ?13,163,0004 and at Boston, $7,137,000, as compared with the week a year ago. New York's total de creased 5107,077,858 from last week. IIEAVY RAILROAD TRAFFIC. The large grain movement and improved eeneral trade outlook are reflected in the September gross earnings of railways, which show the heaviest percentage of gain over the like month in the previous year of any month since May, 1890. The total earnings of 131 roads for September were 542,688,972, against 539,18-1,640 in September, 1890, a gain of 8.9 per cent over last year. Trade in drygoods does not come up to expectations. "Some slight improvement has been noted as the result of cooler weather, and a steady continuance of this condition, it is honed, will stimulate trade. Prices are firm. Print cloth stocks are de- creasing. There is no gain of moment in the iron and steel industries. Hats and caps and boots and shoes, hardware and groceries maintain a good share of previously noted activity. E. G. Dun's weekly review says: Failures are rather numerous, but are in nearly all cases the results of a long-continued com mercial strain since the foreign disasters of last November. It is true that prices of nearly all manufactured products are low and the margin for profit very narrow, while the competition is severe. But the volume of trade is larger than in any previous year, in spite of the fact that some branches of business are retarded. It is also true that collections in some quarters are slow, but the latest reports trom various sections are, on the whole, more favorable. THE IRON MARKET FIRMEK. The news regarding the chief industries is decidedly favorable. The iron industry is more firm in tone. It is felt that the delay in improvement of the demand for rails is at present the only barrier to a gen eral advance. In copper there is uncer tainty, with sales of lake at 12.35 cents. Tin is dull at 20.10 cents, and lead is in moderate demand. The treasury has made but slight change in the supply of currency. With large re ceipts of gold since October 1, and more coming, the shipments to the interior have also been lessened for the moment. Bnt markets at Chicago, St. Louis and some other Western points show a stronger de mand, indicating that larger shipments from the East will presently be required. On the whole, the outlook for industrial progress is decidedly satisfactory. THZY WILL SCABE PEOPLE NO MOBE. Two Men Who Fired Into a House, Just for a Joke, Hanged in Texas. ,Eusk, Tex., Oct. 9. John and Wade Felder suffered the extreme penalty of the law at 1 p. m. to-day for murdering Yonce Thompson, August 17, 1890. They walked to the gallows with uufaltenng"steps, and while standing on the trap both said they were confident of forgiveness. On the night of August 17, while Yonce Thompson and Mack Beasley were asleep in bed at the former's house. Wade and John Felder went there and discharged their guns into the house, instantly killing Yonce Thompson. Wade Felder was tried first. He pleaded not guilty, but the evi dence was reasonably conclusive that Wade and John Felder did the shooting. John was then put on trial, pleaded guilty and made a statement to the jury to the effect that he alone did the shooting to scare Beasley; that Wade Felder was not present and had nothing to do with the killing. The defendants declined to appeal. The prisoners insisted that they, did not intend to kill any person, but only intended to frighten Beasley. ' 7 YOUNG MEN INTERESTED. THE Y. M. C. A.
